259.0. "Track and Field II" by WFOV11::HARRIS_R () Thu Apr 20 1989 11:37

    Has anybody purchased Track and Field II?  Last night I rented the
    game.  The graphic's are excellent and play action is good, but
    I have some questions becaues the documentation did not come with
    the rental.
    
        1.  When you are competing against the computer you start out
            on day one.  The three events are fencing, pole vault and
            Triple jump.  I do well in fencing and fault on the other
            two events and the game ends, so my question is;  What
            conditions exist for the player to advance to day two?
    
        2.  How many days are there in the game?  Does the days represent
            higher levels?
    
        3.  Can you win the bronze, silver and gold in individual events.
    
    I want to be real certain about the above before I shell out $40.00.
    One last question, Does any body want to sell a used one?

259.1Pretty sure but I'll have to check.....LAMBOG::BENTBob Bent...Maynard ISWSThu Apr 20 1989 12:519
You have to qualify in each days events to move on to the next day...at the 
end of the week(?) of qualifying (all events) you move on to the medal rounds...
you get a password at the end of each successful qualifying day so you can
continue where you left off. In the medal round your qualifying times are
higher than the first round...I'm still trying to qualify on the high bar to 
continue so I don't know what happens in the medal round yet....it's a fun game
but the advantage seems to be a must (bigger buttons for easier running etc)

259.4i'm a hammer throw champSALEM::DGOSSELINTue May 02 1989 13:3822
    this is a great game!  very tough!  the triple jump really got me
    
    upset, and I was breaking a sweat trying to qualify!  still haven't
    done it
    
    I can't figure out the pole vault at all!! and the swimming event
    got me sweating again!!   but the good news,
    
    I'm a fencing champ!  I shot 39 out of 40 clay pidgeons, I just
    barely qualified in archery. the hurdles are tough but can be done
    
    I love the platform diving! 
    
    this game is going to take months to master! there are three events
    that you don't get to practice for!  hang gliding, pistol shooting
    and one other which I forget!   but if my hands can take it
    i'll do it!!
    
    
    If anyone does complete it please let me know

    It can be done.  Really the only way to get your athlete's power
    level up is with the rapid fire button.  Unless you have bionic
    fingers.  I know you think using r.f. will make it too easy, but
    it's not as easy as you might think in the higher levels.  I've
    competed in the medal rounds and gotten golds in all of them.
    It takes time. As far as the pole vault, use the B button right
    as the end of the pole passes the plant for the pole. You will
    enjoy the medal rounds.
259.6One Last QuestionWFOV12::HARRIS_RThu May 04 1989 11:179
    I have still not purchased this game so;  How many levels (days+medals)
    do you have to get to beat the highest level?  If you have nine
    days, is it nine levels?  
    
    How many fencers do you face?
    How many karate fighters do you face?
    
    (I like these events the most)
259.7Long road to be a champion49ER::EDWARDSFri May 05 1989 10:428
    You must go threw each event for the first round,  each set of three
    events being a day.  After you complete the first set of all the
    events,you have too do it again.  Then you go on to the medal rounds.
    As far as the tae kwon do and fencing, if you beat your opponent,you
    move on to the next event. However if you lose you have to fight
    an opponent from a different country.  The medal rounds get tough.
    After each set of three you are awarded a medal in you have earn
    it.  The game was enjoyable.  Really liked the graphics.
259.8Try NES Advantage ControllerMOOV01::IRWINWed Jun 28 1989 11:4312
    
    I rented it also to try it out $5 for the week. I have to admit the
    graphics are excellent. One thing though I think everyone should try
    is using the NES Advantage controller. With the turbo repeat on you
    can always get full power out of the players and do well in every
    event. I especially liked it for the High dive, With turbo you can make
    the diver tuck and spin about 20 times before entry. I got 9.2 across
    the board and entered the water doing a tuck. The Nes Adv controller
    makes the game great.
